Now, the whole of Japan is going crazy for an animation,
People are witnessing the birth of a phenomenon-level explosive animation——
How exploded?
Even the Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga would quote the signature lines of "Demon Slayer: Blade" to answer questions from members of Congress when he spoke: "Please let me use the "full concentration breathing" to answer questions."
After being released for 10 days, the box office exceeded 10 billion yen, making it the fastest film in Japanese film history to break the 10 billion box office (previously the record holder was Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away").
Nearly almost in a straight line growth trend Yiqijuechen, spike Japan before all the movies (including live-action films including) results.
As of today, "Demon Slayer: The Movie: Unlimited Train" was released for just one month, and the cumulative box office has reached 23.3 billion yen (nearly 1.5 billion yuan).
Following this momentum, works that surpass the two milestones of "Spirited Away" and "Your Name" are just around the corner .
The current Japanese cinema chains have reached the point where there are only "Devil Slayer: Blade" and "other films".
This is beyond the realm of housing estates and is a social phenomenon .
It even caused social problems such as "Ghost Destruction of Poverty", "Ghost Destruction of Parenting" and " Ghost Destruction of Harassment ."
"Demon Slayer: Blade" comics have been serialized since 2016, and it is the first work of newcomer writer Wu Mae Hu Shiharu on "Weekly Shonen Jump".
The animated version was launched in April 2019, and the sales of comics soared by at least 8 times, breaking various records crazily .
The most brilliant record is that the top 22 Japanese manga sales charts are all dominated by "Demon Slayer: Blade" (there are only 22 books in the entire series).
Why is "Demon Slayer" so popular?
The story of "Demon Slayer" takes the world where cannibals and humans coexist as the stage.
The main mission is just two words, killing ghosts.
Opening, the male kitchen door charcoal Shinjiro a brutally King of Ghosts Daughter , the only surviving sister kitchen door Thee beans also become a ghost.
In order to find a way to restore humanity to Nidouzi, the two brothers and sisters embarked on a journey.
Tanjiro also joined the ghost killing team , slaying demons and slaying demons all the way. First he played the small boss with his teammates (last string), and then hit the boss with our elite team (column, the strongest member of the ghost kill team). Winding), and finally hit the big BOSS (Ghost Dance Tsuji Mime).
Although the setting is still the model of classic kingly passionate blood , it has jumped out of routines in many places .
It can be seen from the relationship between brothers and sisters that good and evil are deliberately blurred in the setting.
As a member of the ghost killing team, Tanjiro is his duty and responsibility to kill ghosts; but Nidouzi, his sister, who is a ghost, is the object of his brother's desperate protection.
There is no complete binary opposition between good and evil, and the beginning of the chapter fills up the contradictions and conflicts from the root.
This sharp and direct approach is also reflected in the reduction of plot .
The original author, Wutoge, is notorious for saving pages, and will try to put the key plot of a sentence into the spread as little as possible. Water drafts are almost non-existent here.
The ultimate boss Guiwu Tsujimura appeared in the 7th episode of the anime without any concealment. Such an arrangement is quite rare in Juvenile Manga, which is upgraded to fight monsters.
Subtraction alone is not enough. Wutoge is also very good at refining and highlighting the key points . The content of each spread can be accurately summarized in one sentence, and there is a clear plot climax.
A set of addition and subtraction combination punches down, the rhythm is tight, and the plot is advanced, which not only has a smooth look and feel, but also firmly captures the reader's appetite.
Such a streamlined arrangement is also reflected in the shaping of the characters.
Otoge will introduce the background of each "pillar" as short and effective as possible , and give them a depth of field other than the "powerful".
The method of shaping ghosts is also very prominent. The story and setting of the villain Twelve Ghost Moon are thick enough, and it also reflects the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of once humans and others. The arc of the characters is quite full.
And this kind of decisive and neat operation is even more obvious in the determination to kill the characters.
The bento is unrelenting , and each one can detonate the plot climax at the key node, pushing the tension to the full.
Although the setting of our square pillars seemed to destroy the world in the early stage , but because of the powerful regeneration ability of ghosts, the heavy degree of casualties in the later stage can only be described by being unable to look directly .
Those who are near are like a pillar of inflammation, and those who are far away are like dazzling.
Whenever this is the current big scene, the author will do a good job of "hospice care" , the usual flashback pictures and first-person narratives will highlight the characters' emotions to the extreme.
Completely convey the characters' motives, beliefs, and pursuits, with full stamina.
Even the shaping of the villain is in place.
Carbon Shinjiro each time defeat the enemy, the face of emotion and joy is not a victory, but a more compassionate mercy;
When ghosts were killed and wiped out, most of their emotions were not defeat but liberation , remembering the memories of being humans, and regaining their dignity as humans.
With a sense of speed and emotion, under the bright narrative rhythm, it tells about the care for life and the dilemma of good and evil.
Under the thrilling, kingly and bloody adventure framework, the sense of impermanence of life and death is tempered , making the audience's emotions always tense and moving .
The story itself, coupled with the blessing of the animation production company ufotable (flying saucer agency), the animated version of "Demon Slayer" achieved a 1+1=11 anti-sky effect.
As one of the industry's top animation production companies that created "Kara no Kyokai" and the Fate series in one hand, UFO Club is known for its gorgeous special effects , exquisite CG and brutal photography .
Kamen Tanjiro used the action scenes of "Water Breathing" and made a lot of reference to the wave ukiyoe-e of Katsushika Hokusai's "Kanagawa Surfing".
With both aesthetic support and gorgeous visual enjoyment, the exquisite pictures are regarded by fans as the "breath of funding" .
When it comes to the production of Lei Die Club, one has to say that the number one hero, a cultivator, and the top original artist Abe Wang .
The famous scene in the 19th episode of "Ghost Slayer: Blade" is from the hands of Abe.
Nozomi Abe has been visiting major animation companies for many years, and he is the mainstay wherever he goes .
"Magic Girl Madoka Magica", "Fate Night" and so on, have made great achievements.
He absorbs all the rivers and learns from others' strengths, and is a master of the Japanese animation industry.
The most signature is the effect of sparks and splashes, which is nicknamed "National First-Class Welding Technician" .
In addition, he is also good at presenting different styles of explosions , depicting the trajectory of fragments from the head and covering the face , as well as the very cinematic push-pull lens and multi-angle fast cutting .
The composition of the painting effects is extremely complicated, and such a dazzling picture usually becomes a nightmare of cutting and coloring.
Let’s go back to episode 19 of "Blade of Ghost Slayer",
In the climax section, Abe Oshin sits here, and a total of more than 30 original painters produce 50 original paintings per second.
The continued emotional contrast, coupled with the insertion song jointly created by Shiina Hao and Nami Nakagawa , finally the emotional catharsis spewed out.
World War I Conferred God! ! !
UFO Club is not only the industry leader in animation production, but also in the field of commercial marketing .
Not only has it acquired peripheral sales channels (generally, the peripheral sales rights of animation belong to the IP copyright owner rather than the animation producer), but it has also started physical businesses such as offline coffee shops .
In recent years, the number of coffee shops in UFO Club has expanded to double digits (and even opened to "Foreign Shanghai" 2333). Because of the explosion of ghost extinguishing, coffee shops have been full of appointments. According to (informed sources) Tokyo and The reservation list for the Tokushima store has been queued up to next year, and fans' wallets have been squeezed tightly .
Demon is the most profitable animation IP (no one) in Japan this year.
Co-branded merchandise is literally covered from birth to be buried a few almost all areas, pervasive brand exposed no doubt on this for popularity and influence played a role in fueling.
And all of this, thanks to the extremely wide audience of "Blade of Ghost Slayer" .
Gui Mie’s audience spans the 7-70 age group, and it can be said that there are no distinctions between men and women, young and old.
First of all, although "Blade of Demon Slayer" is broadcast in the late night, the story itself is not complicated, and children can also understand it. It accurately targets the core users of primary and middle school students.
Secondly, their parents grew up watching "Weekly Shonen Jump" in their childhood, and even if they leave the house in the future, the nostalgic emotions will definitely remain .
After the animation was broadcast, the sibling bond between Tanjiro and Nidouzi aroused the maternal love of most female audiences. The sales volume of comics among female audiences aged 30-40 increased sharply, and female users were also captured.
And the setting of the time background of the Taisho era makes those 70+ years old who want to buy gifts for their grandchildren also have a good impression. Many old people will be recalled by the street scenes of clothing in this work.
Three generations can have fun together, which is the nirvana in this game.
At the time when the epidemic is raging, "Demon Slayer" not only saves the Japanese film and television industry by itself, but also provides an emotional catharsis point for everyone to cry, laugh, and excite.
Now, the elementary school students who are connected to the vaccine will silently recite the line " Full Focused Breathing" in the play before the injection , so that they can resist the pain and not cry. The nurses said, "Thank you for this animation"...
This work hosts the happiness of an era! ! !
In this situation, what "demons eliminate pollution" and "virtue uncoordinated" seem to be less important.
"Demon Slayer: The Movie: Infinite Train" has achieved such an unprecedented success, the domestic introduction is already a certainty , it is only a matter of sooner or later.
It doesn't matter if you change your name, change the picture, or type the code, you just want to see him soon !
(I want to see if I cry...)
No way, I can only go to station b and brush the TV version 10 times before the show.
Poke a [useful], we look forward to it together! ! !
[[[Ps back to the issue of the up title party (you show mercy 23333), it may be that unscrupulous reporters disturbed the retired old man to take out the trash, which caused criticism. Ghosts are innocent! 】】】
=======2020.12.30 update ========
Ghost off the cow X! ! ! I want to blow! ! !
UP has just watched "Ghost Slayer Theatrical Edition Infinite Train" in the theater, and I would like to say a few words to everyone...
The painting has reached the extreme, Abu Wang is really a god. When you think that TV19 has reached its peak, the god is still able to make new ideas. The impact of the climax drama is pulled to the full point, and the huge screen of the new colorful clouds shocked my whole family. ...
To make a paragraph with a relatively thin plot like this, UFO is really hardworking, and there are always surprises...
This is a story about belief and inheritance. The core is actually very simple and plain. It is a very straightforward fan-oriented work for fans. If it is not for the two-dimensional IP fan, it is not necessary to find it difficult to find it and it is boring...
[About the deletion issue that everyone is most concerned about]
What I saw was the complete Japanese Chinese version without the dragon mark. There is no deleted part of the screen throughout the article, but the bloody shots have been darkened (the first frame is the original color, and then the lights are dimmed). The handling is actually very clever. Compared with the oil, holy light, and photo stickers of the broken station, there is almost no modification.
And this dark-screened version is the final version that has been screened and reviewed. It was originally scheduled to be screened in domestic theaters in January 21. Everyone knows the final result. It's a shame...
(The picture is the last frame of the ending subtitles table after the end of the scene. It should not cause trouble to others. Please pat it gently?)
